Assisted dying for paedophiles and life-prisoners

[PansyPotter84]

There’s a lot in the media at the moment about Assisted Dying and Abortion.

Here’s an idea…

Assisted dying for paedophiles and life-sentence prisoners.

Offer them, say £50,000 to the family member, victim or charity of their choice to accept a lethal injection.

Win win for society?

Discuss…

And if you are trying to make some point about the assisted dying bill being shit then that's just really stupid.

At first I thought OP was just being a goady twat, but on reflection I think it’s a very well made point.

What a week it’s been, what depths our society is sinking into.

It costs between 40k and 50k PA to house a prisoner in a UK jail depending on prisoner type.

The majority of people just don’t think in pure economic terms, if people did think in pure economic terms then it would be a vote winner.

Ridiculous impact.

Unless of course they were wrongly convicted, which happens pretty regularly.

I dunno, it's also a mildly amusing way of showing that he OP knows the topic is likely to produce some heated - and maybe even intelligent debate.

"In a land where you can only type, no one can hear your tone of voice".

(And that is why I wasn't asked to write the strapline for "Alien" 😀)

But we are talking about people who are terminally I'll they can't get better .but they can have a peaceful dignified death surrounded by people of there choosing on there own terms.

Liz Carr who is an actress who was in silent witness made a very interesting documentary about assisted dying and it's possible effects on disabled people it was horrifying how some people were being treated as if their lives had no value.

Weird. Some people are against the assisted dying bill in case there is coercion involved... yet here you are actually advocating for it.

YABU

Even if I were wrongly convicted, if the case had been compelling enough to get me sentenced to life I’d probably take the option to prevent the torture of knowing I was innocent and potentially serving decades.
